DA GOODZ

As I mentioned in my offseason preview article, one of the young centers I really think the Knicks should prioritize is Mavs RFA Moussa Cissé. He turns 24 in September, he’s 7’0” with a 7’5” wingspan, and the defensive/rebounding profile is ridiculous. Last season, he averaged 1.7 steals and 4 blocks per 100 possessions, with a 17% offensive rebounding rate and 25% defensive rebounding rate. And look at this: Most offensive rebounds per 36 minutes this past season Mitchell Robinson — 7.7 Steven Adams — 7.1 Clint Capela — 6.2 Moussa Cissé — 6.1…… His shot chart- (exactly what you’d expect from a low-usage rim-running big) 57.4% eFG, no threes, and 57.9% at the rim. he’s defended 256 shots, holding opponents to 51.2% eFG (-3.4%), 28.2% from three, and 59% at the rim. AND he was also one of JUST three players to average 1+ steal and 4+ blocks per 100 possessions last season. The other two? Wemby and Robert Williams. He is, in MY opinion, the only Moussa Knick fans should be dreaming about rn…..
